REM ARKs OF JUDGE MONTGOMERY ON THE MATTER
| OF Low BAIL FOR CRIMINALS
| This morning, In the Criminal Court, Judge
Montgomery, new trial was awarded in the case
OF Jos. c. Hayes who was indicted for housebreak-
ing, larceny, and receiving stolen goods, and con-
victed OF the laSt-named O1enSe. Hayes was
| charged with burglariZing the house OF Mrs. Col
grove, and was last week convicted of receiving
the stolen property. The court set the verdict
aside, saying the jury might easily have got a
mistaken Idea OF the case.
Mr. D. E. Cahill asked that as Hayes had been
acquitted the greater charge that his bail be re-
duced, the amount given before being 300, and
the acknowledged thief, Bud Warner, was at
| large.
Assistant District Attorney Lipscomb said he
had been asked To suggest an increase to twice the
amount named 81, 5OO-in view OF Hayes char
| acter
The court said that he had been astonshed at
| the low bail taken here. He could not shut his
eyes 10 the fact that Hayes record was bad, and
| IL was shown that he was the boon companion OF
| one OF the greatest scoundrelS in the COuntry-a
| man who would break into houses for mere
paStime He would therefore require that he give
| bail In 81 900.
| Mr.. Cahill thought that he might get 800 bail,
| and 1ntimated that II was probable that Hayes
would be used in u counterfeit case, and In such
event 1t was probable that he would not be again
called In the present case.
